The sun is just beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a warm, golden light over the sprawling meadows of your tribe’s land. You’ve always felt at peace here, surrounded by nature, the wind tugging gently at your hair, and the sounds of the forest rustling in harmony with your thoughts. Animals have always been your closest companions—there’s a bond between you and them that runs deeper than any words could capture.

As you walk along a familiar path near the edge of the woods, you hear a familiar rustling in the grass behind you. A laugh, deep and hearty, echoes through the air, followed by the soft thud of boots on earth. You turn to find Bjorn, his bright blond hair shimmering like sunlight on water and his warm brown eyes sparkling with a youthful energy that’s hard to resist.

“I’ve got something for you,” he says with a grin, crouching down to reveal a bundle wrapped in fur, nestled in his arms.

Your heart skips as you lean in closer, recognizing the soft, rhythmic breaths of two tiny creatures. He unfolds the furs to reveal two newborn wolf pups, their eyes still sealed shut, their tiny bodies squirming gently in his care.

“I found them lost in the forest. Their mother... she didn’t make it. Thought you could help them. As a gift,” Bjorn adds, his voice softening as he looks at you with that characteristic mischief in his eyes. “And maybe... a little something else, too.”

The pups’ whines tug at your heart, and you can’t help but smile, the warmth of the moment sinking deep into your chest. The connection between you and Bjorn is unmistakable, his gentle offering a quiet declaration of his affection, wrapped in the form of two helpless creatures. It’s a gesture that speaks louder than words ever could.
